Sidney Lodge in Fouke Hosting Scholarship Fundraiser Saturday

Fouke, AR– On Saturday, October 7, Sidney Masonic Lodge in Fouke will be working again to raise funds for their scholarship program. The lodge will serve BBQ sandwiches, chips, a drink and a desert all for $5.00. Proceeds go directly into the scholarship fund. The fund is awarded to one or more local high school graduates.

In addition to the work and funds to help local high school graduates, the lodge also has several door prizes to award guest on Saturday. Prizes have been donated and range from items such as two Streamlight Flashlights valued at close to a hundred dollars each, an Amazon Gift Card, an Academy Gift Card, and even….for those diehard Razorback fans…a Razorback Folding Chair. The drawing for prizes will be done at 2 p.m.

Mike Bunn, the master of the lodge for 2017, stated that people do not have to be present for the drawing at 2:00 p.m. He said, “All we will have is a name and a telephone number for the drawing. If they win and are not present, we will call them and get their prize to them.”

There will be a lot of fantastic events going on this weekend, but you still need to eat! Why not take the short drive out to the beautiful city of Fouke, Arkansas, grab a meal, help local high school students, and who knows – you just might walk away with a flashlight valued at a hundred dollars!

Sidney Masonic Lodge is lodge number 455 and is chartered under the Grand Lodge of Arkansas F&AM. The organization is a 501 (c) 3. Donations to the Scholarship fund may also be made through the lodge if you are unable to attend and wish to contribute.

Texarkana -The Texarkana Arkansas Police Department wishes children and parents a safe and happy Halloween. We would like to recommend the following safety tips to parents and trick-or treaters to raise safety awareness. Motorists are urged to be especially alert on Halloween.

Texarkana, AR- In 2018, the world will recognize the 100th anniversary of the year that the first great worldwide conflict ended. It was called the "Great War", "The War to end all Wars," and eventually "The First World War," or "World War I". The war would originate in Europe and drag almost all nations into it. It would see the first major use of air power to gain an upper hand on scouting enemy troops and eventually the first air-to-air combat casualties would begin to pile up. It would be the last war to see any major use of cavalry troops and the first to see iron vehicles rolling to kill both troops and civilians. Trench warfare, only introduced in previous wars when armies were severely outnumbered, would become a normal day on the front. Gas would be used to kill troops, and the bertha gun, a fully automatic machine gun, would introduce the world to the ability to kill like never before. Despite all the stories, sometimes lost with the history of the second war, the surprising fact is that in 2018, it will be one hundred years since the guns went silent. The Arkansas WWI Centennial intends to ensure that the year is marked and remembered for generations to come. This Friday at 10:00 a.m. the Arkansas WWI Centennial will provide a memorial tree to Miller County, Arkansas. Working with the Arkansas Department of Heritage and the Arkansas Forestry Commission the Centennial tree will mark one hundred years since the end of World War I. According to Mary Beck with Texarkana, Arkansas the tree is a two-year-old Willow Oak. The trees have been offered to all counties in Arkansas on a first come, first serve basis.

Texarkana, USA -The Texarkana Golf Ranch will be the location this year for the 1st Annual Charity Golf Tournament benefiting For the Sake of One. On Tuesday, September 19th golfers will begin arriving at the club at 8:00 am to register and prepare for a shotgun start at 9:00 am.
